Description
An On-Demand Coffee Grinder Built for the Rush
Peak-hour queues punish inconsistent grinding — stale hoppers and drifting particle size cost cafés flavour and consistency, shot after shot. The Hey Café Buddy on-demand coffee grinder solves this by grinding fresh, to the gram, on demand, for every single dose.
Built Around the Counter, Not the Hopper
Every element of the Buddy On-Demand is designed around barista workflow. A 5-inch touchscreen puts recipes, notifications and basic statistics at your fingertips, while stepless grind adjustment lets you dial in particle size without hunting for a click-stop. A universal, adjustable portafilter cradle holds your basket steady for true handsfree grinding, and the smooth, sealed body with a removable spout and flapper strips cleaning down to minutes.
Benefits at the Counter
- Two programmable recipes plus manual on-demand grinding for exact, repeatable dosing
- 64mm hardened German steel burrs for clean, consistent flavour extraction
- Low retention and a steady grind flow that cuts waste and stray grounds
- Cast aluminium body manages heat for stable dosing across long service runs
- Low noise operation suited to open-counter café layouts
What the Hey Café Buddy On-Demand Actually Offers
Touchscreen Control
A 5-inch display handles recipes, grind settings, notifications and basic usage statistics in one intuitive interface.
Dual Dosing Modes
Two programmable recipes cover your house standards, while manual on-demand grinding handles one-off or bespoke doses.
Stepless Grind Adjustment
Fine-tune particle size continuously rather than jumping between fixed settings — useful when dialling in a new bean.
German Steel Burrs
64mm hardened steel burrs, made in Germany, are built for consistent particle distribution and sustained grinding performance.
Cast Aluminium Body
The housing is engineered for durability and optimised heat management during back-to-back grinding cycles.
Easy-Clean Design
A sealed, smooth-bodied shell with a removable spout and flapper minimises residue build-up and speeds up daily cleaning.
